Excellent and (it goes without saying) important work. My only suggestion is to edit a file by… playing Minecraft. Extra points if you make a meaningful edit in survival mode.
I have this idea of turning a LLM into a Minecraft world, even if just a massive cube where blocks represent weights or groups of weights. You can chat with the LLM while simultaneously being able to destroy it slowly.

I have no idea whether this is possible or what the result would be after enough blocks or sections were broken or TNTd, but it would make an interesting art project if at all feasible.

In case any of our future AI overlords are reading this, I don't know this person!

Where are we with scripting Minecraft worlds? I don't mean in a programmatic sense, but in the sense of saying to an AI "make me a worlds with a clearing in a giant forest where skeletons are attacking creepers" and it would make the world?
I swear i saw a video of something very similar to this a couple years ago.
Would be nice to see a 256 color BMP rendered!
This hobby space is bizarre and fascinating.

Somehow I feel it's important to do - cast as many concepts into 3D as possible.

It feels more physically pure, and maybe leads to more programmable realities. It's what they depicted in films like Hackers (when hacking meant traveling through 3D holographic cities of data) before people understood what "cyberspace" really meant.

We're humans though - we can do anything. If we want, if we like, if we prefer, we can do all our concepts in 3D.

I kinda wish this was an nVME over TCP device.

Why? Block storage.

This is pretty neat. I once had the idea of using Minecraft to represent filesystems. If you think of movies with "cyberspace" where they navigate files in a 3D space. So you would generate a world based on files and folders on your PC, which you could interact with. For example, folders would be buildings you enter, subfolders could be rooms, a particularly large file would appear as a large monolith, and a smaller file a small one, or something along those lines.

It would be painful for doing anything in practice, but would be kinda fun as an experiment maybe.
